Objective: To identify the factors associated with home discharge in individuals with cervical spinal cord injuries (cSCI) according to age group.
Design: Cross-sectional study.
Setting: Hospital or rehabilitation centers specializing in spinal cord injuries in Japan.
The prognosis of adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) with primary central nervous system (CNS) involvement has been unclear since the advent of new therapies. Recently, we have shown that flow cytometric CD7/CADM1 analysis of CD4 + cells (HAS-Flow) is useful to detect ATL cells that are not morphologically diagnosed as ATL cells. We investigated the role of CNS involvement in ATL using cytology and HAS-Flow by analyzing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 73 aggressive ATL cases.

- The poultry red mite (PRM) poses a significant threat to the poultry industry due to its blood-feeding habits and role as a vector for pathogens.
- The study successfully established a stable PRM laboratory colony, allowing for consistent research on mite behavior and drug discovery amidst growing acaricidal resistance.
- Growth data showed that PRM population increased significantly over 28 days, demonstrating effective maintenance conditions for future studies on pest control strategies.
Article Synopsis
- Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) and juvenile polyposis syndrome (JPS) are hereditary conditions linked to a high risk of cancer, but their prevalence and incidence in Japan were previously unknown.
- A nationwide survey in 2022 revealed that there are an estimated 701 patients with PJS and 188 with JPS in Japan, with low prevalence and incidence rates highlighted.
- Results also showed a higher male representation in both conditions and indicated a need for further research on clinical details and outcomes associated with these syndromes.
Objective: Effect of gut dysbiosis on fatty acid (FA) linked 3β-hydroxy-bile acid esters (FA-isoBAs) formation is currently unknown. This study aimed to investigate the profile of FA-isoBAs in fecal samples from pediatric patients with ulcerative colitis (UC).
Methods: Fecal samples were collected from seven pediatric patients diagnosed with UC and seven age-matched healthy controls.
